When Paths Cross *A Clexa FanFic*

Chapter Five

Clarke's POV

"Hey, Clarkey" Octavia walked up to me, dragging out the 'y'.

"What do you want?" I raised my eyebrow at her. I was on my way home from school and I had to hurry before my mom got worried.

"Oh, nothing just here" she handed me a box of chocolates. I love chocolate. What was she up to?

"What do you want?" I asked opening the box and popping a chocolate in my mouth.

"Me and Lincoln are going on a date and I was wondering if you would like to come so it could be a double date?" She let out all in one breath

"I don't have anyone to go with" I sighed continuing to walk

"Lincoln is gonna bring a friend along" she continued to follow me

"I-"

"You guys can just go as friends"

I thought it over for a moment. What could possibly go wrong? Just friends going out to have fun.

"Fine" I shrugged and went home.

---
"Are you guys on your way?" I asked on the phone as I lay on bed. I was probably gonna just throw on something before I headed out the door.

"Yeah,um, so.. remember when I said Lincoln was bringing someone along?"
"Yes? Who is it?" I asked excitedly, I've been thinking about it all day. What if it's a really cute guy. And then him and I can-

"It's Lexa." She blurted out.

"Clarke?" I quickly sat up and ended the call. What am I going to wear? I can't just go in there with a t-shirt and sweatpants. I finally decided on a nice crop top and a fitted low waisted jeans, that apparently Raven said brought out my, what she calls, boy magnet device.

"Clarke!" I heard Octavia holler. I quickly grabbed my phone and ran downstairs.

"Bye m-" I stopped myself. Ever since we moved here she's been working constantly back to back. The only time I see her is either late at night if I stay up or early in the mornings.

"Hey guys!" I grinned, stopping by the window to say hi to Lincoln and hug Octavia. She gestured her head towards the back, I followed her gesture to find Lexa staring out the window with her usual stone faced expression. She was dressed.. nicely. She had on a white button down that really suited her. I could totally imagine her in a tie.. god what am I doing I'm staring.

"Hi, Lexa" I greeted her, beaming as I opened the door and slipped in besides her. Not too far to seem like I'm scared of her, she's not scary. Not at all. Well, maybe a little. But not too close so she gets any ideas, but she wouldn't fall for me. She knows I'm straight. Right?

She turned her head revealing those unforgettable green eyes, my eyes wandered a bit down to her plump pink lips before quickly looking back to her eyes. I realized her eyes were scanning over me from head to toe, oh god, do I look bad? Her face seemed to soften a bit as her eyes met mine, causing me to smile, I could see her lips twitch a little before she quickly turned away.

What's wrong with this girl? Has she ever once smiled? Before I could turn to make a joke she was already staring at me. She quickly turned away, I smiled slightly pretending not to notice the pinkness burning on her ears. She doesn't like me, does she? God I hope not. I mean it wouldn't be bad. She's popular and all so-

"We're here, come on hurry so we can get good seats." Octavia leaped out of the car grabbing Lincoln's hand dragging him along.
